CATGETS(3) NetBSD Library Functions Manual CATGETS(3)
NAMEcatgets -- retrieve string from message catalog
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS#include <nl_types.h>char *catgets(nl_catd catd, int set_id, int msg_id, const char *s);
DESCRIPTION
The catgets() function attempts to retrieve message msg_id of set set_id
from the message catalog referenced by the descriptor catd. The argument
s points to a default message which is returned if the function is unable
to retrieve the specified message.
RETURN VALUES
If the specified message was retrieved successfully, catgets() returns a
pointer to an internal buffer containing the message string; otherwise it
returns s.
ERRORS
The catgets() function will fail if:
[EBADF] The catd argument is not a valid message catalog
descriptor open for reading.
[EINTR] The operation was interrupted by a signal.
[ENOMSG] The message identified by set_id and msg_id is not in
the message catalog.

The catgets() function conforms to X/Open Portability Guide Issue 4,
Version 2 (``XPG4.2'').
Major Unix vendors are split over the adoption of the two most important
message catalog specifications: catgets or gettext(3). The primary con-
cern with the catgets interface is that every translatable string has to
define a number (or a symbolic constant) which must correspond to the
message in the catalog. Duplicate message IDs are not allowed. Con-
structing message catalogs is difficult.
